Originally designed as a game to resemble the 16-bit era, this version was updated for modern platforms.
The core game is identical, but all assets have been redone with HD graphics along with the music.
The story has been expanded with new locations and challenges, there are more than ten new sidequests, four new mini-games and new battle features.
The game has been translated into six languages.
For the HD graphics there is a regular HD and an HD+ mode where the latter adds more smoothing.
About Sega Genesis
Known as the Mega Drive outside North America, the Sega Genesis (1988/1989) was Sega's most successful console and Sonic the Hedgehog's original home, fueling the "console wars" era against Nintendo's SNES. Genesis cartridge collecting is well-established: common sports and platformer titles are affordable, while sports-license and later-era games with smaller print runs can carry a meaningful premium.
Gamevaro tracks Pier Solar for Sega Genesis with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Pier Solar to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This GEN release dates back to 2010.
